MMM-awesome-alexa

@smyvy the config that’s included in the mmm-awesome-alexa repo wasn’t working for me, so I adjusted it to make it look like other modules in my config. here’s my setup, I was actually missing a comma after the closing }, which fixed the black screen:

{
module: ‘MMM-awesome-alexa’,
position: “bottom_bar”,
config: {
wakeWord: “Alexa”,
clientId: “amzn1…”,
clientSecret: “…”,
deviceId: “magicmirror”,
refreshToken: “…”,
lite: false
}
},

@g_nandagpl please share images of the visualisation, if any.

[g_nandagpl]

@g_nandagpl is it possible to send notifications or load modules through voice?

[dolanmiu]

@g_nandagpl Visualization is now done! It looks like a talking/breathing circle, kind of like cortana.

[g_nandagpl]

@dolanmiu Thanks for the visualisation.

Has anyone run into this problem:

Error: Cannot find module ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa/node_modules/snowboy/lib/node/binding/Release/electron-v1.4-linux-arm/snowboy.node’
at Module._resolveFilename (module.js:455:15)
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12)

Happens when I try to run my mirror with MMM-awesome-alexa.

Thanks,

James

@smyvy Yes, its a very common issue, run this:

npm run electron-rebuild

[smyvy]

Thanks for the speedy reply. Although I have tried this several times and I get

“sh: 1 electron-rebuild: not found…”

I’ve started over a couple of times but get the same. Sorry if this is a real NOOB problem.

[dolanmiu]

@smyvy which directory are you running that command on?

It needs to be in the MMM-awesome-Alexa directory

That command is most definitely there

[smyvy]

Hi, yes inside that directory.

I’m going to completely restart and see if it is something I’ve messed up.

@jnstnr said in MMM-awesome-alexa:

@cowboysdude just got home and tried it, replaced all " with ’

And now I get another error:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ bash auth_code.sh
auth_code.sh: line 10: syntax error near unexpected token (' auth_code.sh: line 10: perl -MURI::Escape -ne ‘chomp;print uri_escape($_),’\n’‘’

Pretty sure there’s a simple fix for line 10, but haven’t figured it out yet!

what was your fix for this? i am currently having this exact issue

[E3V3A]

@hnperkins That post “seem” wrong as it show’s a “back-tick” (`) or even forward-tick, instead of a single quote (').
You need to replace all double-quotes with single quotes, not back-ticks!
Unfortunately the single quotes are not rendered clearly, in this forum.

# Here is a single-quote:  '
# Here is a back-tick:     `
# Here is a double-quote:  "

But that said, I’m not sure that is the problem.

It doesnt work with ifttt. Whenever i try to send the command, it gives a response “i dont see any ifttt trigger” . But from alexa app on my android it works normally with the same account, i used to generate my token.

Documentation website up:

https://awesome-alexa.js.org

Has detailed install instructions and on how to get past snowboy issues

Hey there, I’m totally new to this topic.
I hope you understand my English and my problem.

So my Mirror is already working but when i’m adding the module Awesome Alexa my weather module is loading in the middle of the screen instead of Top_right. It doesn’t matter if i change all positions, every time Weather is in the middle.
When i delete the alexa module, weather is back in the original position.

Can somebody help me with this problem?

thank you a lot…

[Canterrain]

Trying to finish setup of the module.

I’m in the helper config, and when I get to the point of supplying a return URL I enter:
https://localhost:3000/authresponse
But terminal tells me that’s an invalid URL.

I’ve put https://localhost:3000/authresponse as my return URL and https://localhost:3000/ as my authorized URL on the Amazon developer site. What I am I doing wrong here?

[Cr4z33]

I am struggling since 4 hours getting this module to work. 😩

When I say ‘Alexa’ the module seems to wake up, but then after ie a question nothing happens.

There’s no evidence of errors when running MM by npm start.

All the setup went fine so I am out of ideas now…

[sdetweil]

@Cr4z33 how does the module play audio? I had an alexa module that used mpg321, which wasn’t installed… so it never made any sound

looks like the awesome alex debug says to test play with

omxplayer -o alsa myAudioFile.mp3

https://github.com/dolanmiu/MMM-awesome-alexa/blob/master/docs/audio-setup.md

now that the author has one lined the source, it is hard to help as much…
